Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution for the BA78M07CP-E2 is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Output Voltage: Fixed 7V output is the primary functional requirement
• Output Current Capability: Minimum 500mA required for direct replacement
• Input Voltage Range: Maximum input voltage of 22V or higher
• Package Compatibility: TO-220-3 package family (both cropped and full pack variants are mechanically compatible for through-hole mounting)
• Output Configuration: Positive fixed output
• Protection Features: Over Current and Over Temperature protection as baseline requirements
• Compliance: ROHS3 compliance and REACH Unaffected status

The BA07CC0T qualifies as a substitute based on these parameters. It maintains the same 7V fixed output voltage, exceeds the current requirement (1A vs. 500mA), supports higher input voltage (25V vs. 22V), and provides enhanced protection features including Over Voltage protection. Both devices are ROHS3 compliant and REACH Unaffected.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The BA07CC0T is suitable as a substitute for the BA78M07CP-E2 based on the following engineering criteria:

Compliance and Regulatory Status: Both parts maintain ROHS3 compliance and REACH Unaffected status, ensuring regulatory alignment for applications subject to these requirements.

Product Lifecycle: The BA07CC0T is classified as Active, providing assured long-term availability and supply chain stability compared to the Obsolete status of the BA78M07CP-E2.

Electrical Performance: The BA07CC0T delivers superior electrical characteristics including higher output current capability (1A vs. 500mA), higher maximum input voltage rating (25V vs. 22V), and extended operating temperature range (-40°C ~ 125°C vs. -40°C ~ 85°C). These enhancements provide design margin and broader application flexibility.

Protection Enhancement: The BA07CC0T includes Over Voltage protection in addition to Over Current and Over Temperature protection, offering increased circuit protection.

Package Compatibility: Both devices use TO-220-3 package family configurations suitable for through-hole mounting. The cropped leads variant (BA78M07CP-E2) and full pack variant (BA07CC0T) are mechanically compatible with standard TO-220-3 PCB footprints.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the BA07CC0T directly replace the BA78M07CP-E2 in existing designs?

A: Yes. Both devices provide identical 7V fixed output voltage and share the same TO-220-3 package family. The BA07CC0T exceeds the current requirement (1A vs. 500mA) and supports higher input voltage (25V vs. 22V), making it electrically compatible. PCB footprints designed for TO-220-3 through-hole mounting accommodate both cropped and full pack variants.

Q: What are the key differences between these parts?

A: The BA07CC0T provides higher output current (1A vs. 500mA), higher input voltage rating (25V vs. 22V), extended operating temperature range (-40°C ~ 125°C vs. -40°C ~ 85°C), additional Over Voltage protection, and Active product status versus Obsolete status.

Q: Are there any package considerations when substituting?

A: Both parts use TO-220-3 package family configurations. The BA78M07CP-E2 uses cropped leads (TO-220CP-3) while the BA07CC0T uses full pack (TO-220FP). Standard TO-220-3 PCB footprints accommodate both variants. Verify lead spacing and mounting hole alignment with your specific PCB design.

Q: Do both parts meet the same compliance requirements?

A: Yes. Both the BA78M07CP-E2 and BA07CC0T are ROHS3 compliant and REACH Unaffected, meeting equivalent regulatory requirements.

Q: Why is the BA78M07CP-E2 classified as Obsolete?

A: Obsolete status indicates the part is no longer in active production. The BA07CC0T, classified as Active, represents the current equivalent offering from Rohm Semiconductor for this functional category.
